Todos Los Romances

Produced by Armando Manzanero and arranged by Bebu Silvetti,[1] the record was a success in Latin America and sold over seven million copies worldwide.[2][3] It revived interest in the bolero genre, and was the first record by a Spanish-speaking artist to be certified Gold in Brazil, Taiwan and the United States.[3] It received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album.[4][5] Its follow-up, Segundo Romance, was released in 1994; Manzanero, Juan Carlos Calderón and Kiko Cibrian co-produced the record with Miguel, with it winning a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.[6][7] In 1997 Romances was released, with Miguel and Manzanero co-producing Silvetti's arrangements;[8] it sold over 4.5 million copies, winning another Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance.[9][10] Each of the three discs were certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipping one million copies in the United States. One year after the release of Romances, WEA Latina announced that it will issue a three-disc compilation album Todos Los Romances, which contains three Romance-themed albums and was released on 11 August 1998.[11]
